Final Assignment - Final Progress

*This would be my Final and completed animation with both gestures and lip syncing:



*Some rendered screenshots:

2 friends were happily slacking at the balcony.

The 'attached' friend is having his stick of cigarette when the other one asked him about his progress with his girlfriend.

The attached hogan put down his stick and answered his friend's question honestly.

Happily chatting about how he and his girlfriend chat online everyday.

Ending off with the blissful grin on his face

Final Assignment - Progress 1

*Decision of Sound Clip: Yourgirlfriend

*Environment planning:

After listening to the soundclip (Yourgirlfriend.wav) provided to us, I've interpreted that this conversation should be held at somewhere relaxing and cozy, whereby two friends got together after their individual busy lives to share about their lives respectively.

I have decided to use Balcony as the environment.

Acting - Final Progress

This is my final video for this assignment.

To improve from the previous progress (Acting), I have added in more details in terms of postures and reactions in this video. I have edited the story to make it more natural and realistic.

Areas I've edited:

- tapping his left feet to shaking his right feet
- edited the speed of the ball to allow it to look more realistic as it 'fly' pass the hogan
- the hogan appears more shocked with his body leaned slightly backwards and his arms raised up a little
- after realizing that his scoop ice cream had fallen onto the ground, he stared towards the direction where the ball came from angrily and raised his hands.
- looking at his empty ice cream cone left, he lowered his head and didnt know what to do.

Screenshots:

Acting

Environment: In the park, on a bench in front of an ice cream booth.
